unfortunetly yes i am haveing a problem, when i try to record a showing in advance i get the "buy & record" screen, and it then says no cost is available and kicks be back to the "buy & record" screen.

this is happening on both the new xtreme25 to 2.5.2 and the xtreme25 /kraven to 2.5.2 tivos so what ever i did wrong i did twice.

if i run the noppv version 1.2 it says it fixs the ppvs and i can do future recording. but noppvsz says fixed 0?

I've attached a shell script which will gather some info from your tivo to diagnose your problem. Unzip the file and transfer xts.sh to your tivo, chmod +x xts.sh, run xts.sh, and transfer the output file /var/hack/xprob, zip it and attach to a post (alternately you could email the xprob file to me, send pm for email addy).

Try deleting the /var/hack/xPlusz/st.dat file. The next time noppvsz.tcl runs it will rebuild it.
Even when it finds 0 shows to fix, the process whould take 40-50 seconds. Yours is taking only 1 second so something is not right.

noppv

when i got home it appeared that the noppv loop had frozen as the logs showed it had not ran for 4 hrs, so i deleted the st.dat, killed the noppv and sleep loops, ran "#3,1200" and it now appears to be working just fine(8 hrs later) on both the boxs i have. even when it has 0 fixs, it now takes 30-40 sec.

Thank You for Your Time and Help, and for such wonderful software to play with :>

One works, one doesn't

I installed xPlusz 3.10 (2.52) on top of 2.51 extreme dsr6000. Everything seems to work except Locals. I first did #21,1 and then #60,41. When I did I got a message something close to “reset PBP” then “Dumploc” and finally “invalid id 41, reas=998 #60,41”. I am running subed and live in West Palm Beach. My other DSR6K is also running xPlusz 3.10 and does get the locals.

I really can’t figure why one 6k gets the locals and the other doesn’t. The only difference is that I backed up the first 6k and used that backup to restore the second 6k.

UPDATE, fixed. I restored and did xPlusz from scratch. It works just fine. Still not sure why a resrore of an existing complete xPlusz install didn't work (after a delete everything, of course).

There have been some changes in the guide data that is being sent (that's what I understand) and many locals from the 101° satellite as well as all the locals on the 119° bird are gone and cannot be recovered using mvchannels. You need another script, midupdate.tcl to get them. Check out these threads:
